Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES) goes through a yearly budget process to plan for operating, debt, and capital investments that reflect WES’ needs and priorities and establish sewer and surface water rates for the following fiscal year.
WES is always focusing on how to best provide sewer and/or surface water management services to nearly 200,000 Clackamas County residents. The FY 2023-24 budget and accompanying rate adjustments are built around a long-term financial strategy that ensures WES can continue to effectively protect public health and the environment, provide the infrastructure necessary to support economic development, and deliver services in the most cost-effective manner for ratepayers.
The FY 2023-24 budget includes the following increases to the monthly rates:
- Wastewater Treatment Rate (Rate Zones 1 and 2): $1.35
- Wastewater Local Collection Rate (Rate Zone 2): $0.70
- Surface Water Management Rate (Rate Zone 2): $0.50
- Surface Water Management Rate (Rate Zone 3): $0.25
For customers in Rate Zone 2, the wastewater rate increase is partially offset by decreases in the amounts charged to pay for past debt.
Clackamas Water Environment Services produces clean water, protects water quality and recovers renewable resources. We do this by providing wastewater services, stormwater management, and environmental education. It’s our job to protect public health and support the vitality of our communities, natural environment, and economy.
Clean Water for all.
